Quartz smiled and said, “The Queen Mother said, this time it’s just a small lesson for you. If this happens again in the future, all of them will be killed.”

When the people next to him who were still wailing heard this, they were so frightened that they didn’t dare to howl anymore, and they could only sob in a low voice.

Eunuch Chang endured the pain and said, “The minions follow the teachings.”

After he had gone far, Eunuch Chang relaxed a little bit, and he asked the palace eunuchs who had been punished to go back and lie down.

There are doctors and medical women in the palace who specialize in treating palace eunuchs, but the six of them were injured because of punishment. According to the rules, they are not qualified to ask doctors to treat their injuries.

They can only gritted their teeth and survive, and everything will be fine if they can survive. If they can’t survive, they can only be wrapped in straw mats and sent out of the palace, and they can find a place to bury them.

Although Eunuch Chang did not mention the punishment, Luo Qingshan still knew about it.

He felt extremely ironic in his heart.

The queen mother didn’t even say hello, so she directly hit the minions around him, saying that it was to punish those useless minions for him, but in fact, it was to warn him not to play tricks.

He is a pawn in her hand.

As a chess piece, the most important thing to do is to be well-behaved and obedient.

Luo Qingshan said lightly: “Call Chang Xi over.”

“Okay.”

Soon Eunuch Chang limped in.

Because of his injury, his face was very pale, and his forehead was full of cold sweat.

As soon as he was about to salute, he was stopped by the prince.

“Don’t be polite, are your injuries serious?”

Eunuch Chang pretended to be relaxed and authentic: “It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt at all, your Highness, don’t worry.”

Luo Qingshan asked someone to bring a wooden box with several bottles of good injury medicine in it.

“This is for you, take it and use it.”

Eunuch Chang was flattered: “There are so many medicines that the minions can’t use, so don’t waste them.”

Luo Qingshan: “The excess will be distributed to a few other people.”

Eunuch Chang thought of the other palace eunuchs who had no medicine and could only obey their fate. His heart softened and he was grateful.

“The minions thanked His Royal Highness for the kindness of those slaves and minions.”

“This time it’s lonely to hurt you.”

Eunuch Chang quickly knelt down: “Your Highness, don’t say that! The minion is the minion of His Royal Highness the Prince. As long as it is for His Royal Highness, don’t say that it is just a few blows. Even if the minion is allowed to give up this cheap life, the minion is willing!”

Luo Qingshan glanced at him: “You should know why Prince is sick.”

No one else knew about his medication except himself and Xiao Liangdi, but Eunuch Chang was careful and followed him every day, and he would be a little aware of it.

Eunuch Chang said seriously word by word.

“Your Highness, please rest assured, the minion will not say one more word.”

Luo Qingshan said slowly: “You have been with Prince for so many years, and Prince naturally believes in you. You are not lightly injured this time. Go back and have a good life.

Come back when you are thoroughly nurtured. Don’t take your body seriously because you are young. You will suffer when you get old in the future.”

Eunuch Chang knows very well how cold the prince’s temperament is. It is really rare to hear the prince say such concerns. It can be seen that the prince truly regards him as one of his own.

Eunuch Chang just felt that this beating was too worthwhile!

His eyes flushed with emotion, and he said eagerly: “His Royal Highness is not well yet, how can the minions recover from their injuries with peace of mind?”

People in this palace are unpredictable, and if they can’t keep them together, some people want to take advantage of the prince’s illness. The minions must always stay by the prince’s side to prevent those evil spirits from taking advantage of the opportunity.
